Jamie, Count me in. I have been avoiding the boards because I don't know where to post and I can only read the threads for so long before I tear up.

Our story is that first u/s in at 6weeks, very slow hb and was very hard to find. U/s at 7 weeks, even slower hb. at 8 weeks it was over. We had DC on 7/3 so we could have the genetic testing. Ended up being extra chromosome 16 (trisomy) which causes slow hb and slow/no growth.

I am doing okay with not crying except for when certain things hit me. Like this morning, I made banana bread before going to work with some old left over bananas. I pulled it out of the oven and started to wonder if I would ever get to make banana bread for my kids. Of course it was a good thing I didn't have my mascara on yet because I was water works after that. But then other days, I hardly think about it.

Thanks for starting this thread.
